About OBSCURA

The film.

OBSCURA is a short film written by Tagg West, which I directed and produced through Nuvine Visuals. It takes place in and around a house, with a car and a location card for Maddox Airforce Base in the edit.

The pitch deck set the look: browns and greens, soft low-contrast light, nicely diffused, and wardrobe of dark overcoats and neutral, loosely worn clothes. The graded short version runs about six minutes, and its end credits read "A Nuvine Visuals Production."

OBSCURA is the title the film's own credits carry.
